Problem summary and priorities: reports the Mac stops at the white screen with the Apple logo after using Software Update. That symptom most often points to (a) corrupted system files from a failed update, (b) a third‑party kernel extension or login item preventing a full boot, or (c) filesystem or hardware trouble. Preserving user data is the first priority before any reinstall.

Context and quick triage: and were asking the right clarifying questions; ’s suggestion to use the installer media is a good baseline. Beyond that, useful, non-destructive checks include booting into Safe Mode (forces cache rebuild and disables third‑party kexts), booting in Verbose Mode (shows kernel messages to see where the boot stops), resetting PRAM/NVRAM (Cmd+Opt+P+R) and resetting the SMC (model dependent). Single‑User mode allows running a filesystem check (fsck -fy) if the disk needs repair. These steps help distinguish a software conflict from disk or hardware failure.

Data rescue and recovery path: If normal boots fail, use Target Disk Mode (hold T at startup) or an external enclosure to copy critical files before reinstalling. If only the update is broken, installing the full macOS installer or a “combo” updater (when available) often repairs damaged system files without erasing user data. A clean install should be the last resort after backup.

When to get hands‑on help: Persistent hangs after the above checks, failing hardware tests, or unreadable volumes indicate a need for physical inspection or professional repair. Avoid erasing the drive until data is secured; collecting the last lines shown in Verbose Mode or any kernel panic text greatly improves diagnosis.

Do you mean it freezes during boot-up? Or can you make it to the login window?

You can't enter the OS? Meaning you can login but the desktop never loads? Or do you not even reach the login screen? You really must correct what you're saying as none of us have any idea what you're talking about.

Boot your system with the original OS X cd by holding down the 'c' key until you see the apple on your screen. Wait until the install menu appears. Look at the top and find disk utility. Run this and select your boot disk. Select 'repair permissions'. After this select the option 'reboot'. If that doesn't fix it then you need somebody to do a hands on fix it.
